the second that china and india are going to be powerful competitors. they are not a threat. they're a fact. you know, what we do about it is the challenge. they have every right to pursue happiness. i mean, they are as endowed by the creator. so they have every right to do this. and if you have a billion 300 chinese and a billion indians rolling up their sleeves, if you want this country to remain the most successful in the world, then you've got to be prepared to meet this competition. this will be one of the major debates in the next 10 years. are americans prepared to think through what it takes to compete with china and india or would we rather decay elegantly? because there's no middle ground. you're either deciding you're going to be in the competition and that's going to require a continuance change or you're deciding change is too hard. let's just give up and let them become the leaders of the world because it's too difficult for us to do it. but there's no middle ground about this. i recommend to all of you bob compton's movie "2 million minutes" you can access it

that imports that were coming from china would have come from other areas, whether it was vietnam, india or brazil. and even if one had only been concerned about u.s. workers and not about u.s. consumers, for example, this would not have anything for u.s. workers. i think there are some of the same discussions we are seeing a. the problem is that there was a sort of very strong philosophical approach which said the reason the bush administration didn't do this was this ideological commitment to free trade and they were willing to sell out u.s. workers and things will now be different. widget that premise is going to make it very hard to say, oops, we just checked and there are more countries other than just china and this may not do much. . . that means to be considered very strongly. secondly, somehow we have to have an adult conversation with beijing about the fact that we can all walk and chew gum at the same time. we can fight over things and still work together. the chinese wanted to be all or nothing. we have cases with the europeans on very difficult issues all the time, and it do
